Awards

Capgemini Open Source Award [Jury price] (2008)
Award obtained for developing an open source (Linux) gaming distribution platform. The project, Starez, was developed in collaboration with Sjors Gielen.

Event-based simulations

Using the event-based approach one can simulate single photon or neutron experiments by causally connecting components which mimick the experimental set-up. The event-based approach combines classical electrodynamics with the concept of single indivisble entities (i.e. particles), without the need to invoke quantum theory.

During my master research project I have developed Python code to simulate a quantum-delayed choice experiment using the event-based approach (arXiv:1408.5593). The program code for the individual components is written such that new experiments are readily constructed by virtue of the components being re-usable and object oriented. The Python code for the components and the experiment itself is freely available:Download Python code
